The Dogger Saints Podcast : An Unofficial St Johnstone Podcast

we speak to Paddy Cregg about his time in Perth. A must listen

To paraphrase 80s ragamuffin Ferris Bueller “here’s where Dan goes berserk”. Weird for him to take a break from mischief making to boldly predict the first half hour of a Scottish football podcast several decades in the future, but there we are. Anyway, if you can make it through that, we promise it gets better, so pull up a pew and join your old pals for Episode 95 of The Dogger Saints Podcast!

Yep, we had to talk football. With four mens games to cover, and a look at some of the more contentious elements of the past few weeks, including Levein-ball, the skipper and VA-fucking-R.

However, on a happier note, we get to cover a couple of wins for the women’s team, covering fine performances against Livingston and Gartcairn, and even have a wee catch-up with *checks notes* centre-forward Nicole Carter.

We know what you’re all after though. Features, baby! Features by the damn barrel load! We’ve got them all, including a visit to everyone’s favourite talking shop in The Good, The Bad and The Banto, before the Banto comes up trumps in this week’s visit to see George in The Royal. We also head over to the home of this year’s Euros for a both puzzling and delicious instalment of the Club Shop of Shame, and we have a stylish instalment of Theme Team for your listening pleasure.

Buff Sam Miller! House Salesman Danny Williams! Punk Ass Bitch Tommy Lovenkrands! We’ve got it all and much more, including some fond farewells and a load of other shit, so settle down and enjoy yourselves. Get there!

This episode is not sponsored by the fine fine people at Possible estate agents.

“My mama said Saints is like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re gonna get.” Not our words, friends, the words of running enthusiast, simpleton and utter doormat Forrest Gump. However, you know where you do know what you’re getting? The Dogger Saints Podcast - you’re getting capers, you’re getting your old pals Sam and Dan, and you’re getting them right here in our big post-winter break Episode 94!

Death. Taxes. Saints getting potted out of a cup competition by some lower league mob. On reflection, Saturday was inevitable, but we better go over it anyway, and assess what went wrong and where Saints can put it right for the rest of the league season. If you’re after some light relief from the women’s team you’re shit out of luck, but we do look at some of the January comings and goings, as the team looks to climb up the table, now under the sole charge of Kev ‘Candyman’ Candy.

You want some good times? We’ll give you all the good times, with a bucketload of features. Get your passports out as the old favourite’s return, as we slip on a pair of clogs for this week’s Club Shop of Shame, and we jet off with George for some winter sun in this weeks O’Boyle in the Royal. Dan pays an ode to the City of Discovery in the latest instalment of poetry corner, and we bring in two new features in the shape of ‘Unluckiest Saints Fan’ and our latest brain teaser ‘Littler or Hitler?’

For the first time since we held two cups, we are able to welcome a men’s first team player to the podcast, as we are delighted to be joined by Saints’s rock at the back, Ryan McGowan, to discuss Macca, globetrotting, Aussie Rules, getting Chicken Pox at the age of 34, and much more. A smashing guy and a great chat, you don’t wanna miss this.

We’re also delighted to be joined by a second guest, Aberdeen fan and podcast mainstay Erin Grieve, for a right old laugh discussing the Dandies, Steak and Chrizo pastry delights, and looking ahead to Wednesday night’s clash at McDiarmid.

Sam Miller vs Dalkeith! Danny Williams vs Motherwell! Increasingly poor impersonations of Tom Hanks! We’ve got it all, and much more, so get comfy and join your old pals for a right old chuckle. Get there!

To paraphrase Boy George in a potentially racially insensitive 1980’s charity record “throw your arms around the Saints, it’s Levein Time!” The Saints are on the rise, Santa’s on his way, and we’re all going to be living it large as we rattle off four away wins on the spin over the festive season. So why not get yourselves right into the spirit of things, by settling down for Episode 93 of The Dogger Saints Podcast!

Many a game of kickball to cover since we last did this nonsense, with 5 (FIVE) games to cover from Levein’s Champagne Football Merchants, starting with the defeats against Hearts and Celtic, before the resurgent Saints struck back in style against St. Mirren, Motherwell and Hibs. We also have a look ahead to the January transfer window, and look at the impact of 16 year old wonderboy Fran Franczak.

We also have a look at the slightly more mixed fortunes of the Saints Women’s team, as we cover their four recent games against Livi, Glasgow Women, Gartcairn and Boroughmuir Thistle, and at various points kindly catch up with gaffers Kev Candy and Jamie Reynolds, and players Bex Robertson, Ellie May Cowie and Steffi Simson.

Man that is a lot of Champagne Football, but we know what you’re really here for - features baby! We take a trip to see our old pal George, as the Dogger Saints Podcast’s own Sam Miller provides two options, both of which face disqualification. However we also give our mental health a kicking by taking another trip to the Banto, Dan unveils his Christmas song, and we have a very special Big Fat Saints Quiz of the Year for all to join in with!

We have our first interview for a while, but boy is it a good one, as we’re joined by Saints Chief Executive and all round top fellow Stan Harris - who kindly gifted us his first interview in the role, only for us to lose the first five minutes. However, once resolved we have a tremendous chat covering all things surrounding Saints, Levein, offending pop megastars, and bingo attending budgies. You absolutely do not want to miss this.

Sam Miller tells a festive nonce joke! Danny Williams struggles to talk to girls! A waffle soften sleigh! We’ve got all this, and much more, so get yourselves comfy, grab a mince pie and come join us for a real Christmas Cracker of an episode. A very merry Christmas to one and all, from your two favourite wankstains. Get there!

Hello? How are you? Not our words, friends, the words of popular light entertainer Holly Willoughby. It has been a wile though, and we’re glad to be joining you again. So gather round, and join your old pals Sam and Dan for The Dogger Saints Podcast Episode 92: Electric Boogaloo!

A lot can happen when you don’t do a podcast for three weeks, so in what could be considered an unusual move for this podcast, we discuss football and St. Johnstone at great length.

In one Blue Corner we discuss Levein, Macca, Killie, Motherwell, County and Alec Cleland’s ragtag bunch of good time merchants. In the other Blue Corner we discuss sub-par training sessions, quiz capers, Queens Park, Boroughmuir Thistle and Livingston. It’s all all going off, from all angles!

We’ve not forgotten what you’re all here for…features galore, baby! We take George to visit three Saintees enjoying a sensual freezer treat, Dan pays ode to new gaffer in his poetry corner, the Banto does just enough to survive another airing, and we set out our stall for a real soapy Theme Team.

Four shades of Levein with Danny Williams! Mathematics with Sam Miller! Incest! We’ve got it all, and much more, including a look forward to Saturday’s trip to Tynecastle. So get yourselves settled in and have a damn good time. Get there!

In almost the words of The Walker Brothers, breaking up with legendary former players is very hard to do. Yep, it’s been another perfectly normal week at a perfectly normal football club, so what better way to round it all off than by two perfectly normal guys discussing it all? So take it easy on yourself, and join your old pals Sam and Dan for Episode 91 of The Dogger Saints Podcast!

Yes, we’re back at the managerial well, so after saying an ultimately fond farewell to Macca and Liam, we go through all the runners and riders to take the McDiarmid hot seat. Davie Martindale and his incredibly short arse? Robbie Neilson and his formerly lovely hair? Mark McGhee and his house of chuckles? We give you the full run down.

We also take a look at the free scoring Fair Maids, as we review their stunning up turn in form with comprehensive victories over Kilmarnock and Stirling, and catch up with a raft of players and gaffer Jamie Reynolds to get their views as they match up the SWPL2 table.

It’s been a heavy few weeks in Perth, but you know what’ll lighten the mood? Features, baby! And features by the bucket load! We take a trip to the Highlands with George, catch up on the latest Banto drama, and go to our favourite decade for a truly world class instalment of Theme Team.

We do not discuss the St. Mirren game, because who knows their right mind would want to do that, but we do take a look to the future as Alec Cleland’s Sexy Perth Soccer Hurricane take on Killie on Wednesday night, and then probably someone else’s Sexy Perth Soccer Hurricane welcome Motherwell and Ross County to Perth for two pivotal clashes through the month.

Sam Miller vs McDonalds! Danny Williams vs Three Year Contracts! Sam Miller and Danny Williams fully on board with Wycliff Jean! We’ve got it all, and we’d love for you to join us. Get there!

‘Win, Lose or Draw’ was a 90s television game show with the emphasis on drawing, hosted by a plethora of cheeky cockney chappy’s including Danny Baker, Bob Mills, and Shane Ritchie.

Your old pals Sam and Dan, so come join us for - somehow - Episode 90 of your all time favourite nonsense, The Dogger Saints Podcast!

Not only we pay a second visit to Dan’s Poetry Corner to pay tribute to the loss of a true club mainstay, and introduce our new feature ‘Florida Man’.

We do actually eventually get round to having a chat about football, as we discuss Saints’ draws against Livingston and Aberdeen, and question how we might be able to actually score some goals in the future. We also review the Perth Princesses’ cup defeat to Glasgow City, and look forward to Kilmarnock’s visit to North Muirton this weekend.

Sam Miller on Saville! Danny Williams on ‘Joey Erotic’! Sam and Dan on The Countryside! We’ve got it all, and much more, so get comfy and join your old pals for a massive celebratory Episode 90 of The Dogger Saints Podcast!

To paraphrase Frank Reynolds after he hijacked the tour boat “one the things I like to do most, is listen to the Dogger Saints Podcast. I listen to a lot of the Dogger Saints Podcast.” A strange man, but you can be like him too, if you come and join your old pals Sam and Dan for Episode 88 of The Dogger Saints Podcast!

We have all the skinny from all the Saints related action over the past few weeks, as we relive the mens 2-2 burglary against Dundee, and we Mac’s beautiful wee silky skills. We also look into the women’s double-header against Livingston, as Sam caught up with gaffers Jamie Reynolds and Kev Candy, and Dan with goalscorers Elvie McLean and Fern Newbigging after the thrilling cup victory, and then caught up with absolutely nobody after the league drubbing.

We all know what brightens up the time of year when the nights start fair drawing in - features, baby! And we’ve got them all with The Good, The Bad and The Banto, a visit to Mike Ashley’s emporium for this weeks O’Boyle, a small visit to the Club Shop of Shame, and we get in the ring for some wrastling in this weeks Theme Team.
